Katie Noonan "Home" - Recorded with the RØDE NTR Ribbon Microphone

- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Recorded exclusively with three RØDE NTR ribbon microphones by Peter Freedman, Katie Noonan (@KTNoonan) performs her song "Home" which will feature on her upcoming album later in 2015.
Designed to hang in the world’s finest recording studios and performance halls equally as well as home studio spaces, the NTR's existence is a labour of love for RØDE. Every element of the NTR, from the transformer to the ribbon element itself, has been designed and created in-house at RØDE’s headquarters in Sydney, Australia. All with the aim of crafting the finest ribbon microphone available.

hello friends... this is a song I wrote for my dear Godmother/Aunty who died not long before this session. This was SUPER fresh tune and I have never recorded it other than this session. I absolutely love the RODE ribbons and am so VERY proud they are made here in Australia and in particular I am inspired by the 100% Australian owned Company CEO’s deep commitment to arts philanthropy in Australia - truly extraordinary. Legit LEGEND.
ps the lyrics are here below - my dear Aunty Maurn Cummings/Maudsley was a music teacher (ps she taught at Newcastle High, which I believe was the home of the Silverchair dudes) and was a hard working cover’s musician in Newcastle.
Not longer before her death, her dear soulmate Graham died, so this song is about that.....knowing they were together brought us peace x
This is simply one take, just me and the piano and 3 ribbon mikes. I record all my albums live - I believe it is the only way to record in order to capture the imperfect magic. I am not interested digitally manipulated music. 100% live forever!!!!
HOME/ YOU ARE HOME
@Katie Noonan
I looked out across the bay and thought of you and your smile
Looking out at your home town and wishing I could hold you
Remember standing ‘round the kitchen in Corona Street
Sneaking treat from your apron and calling me your darl
And then rain started to fall and it seemed to fit my confusion
But soon the sun’s rays made the sky sing
Cause you are with him now
In a better place, out of pain
You are with with him now
In a safe place, free from harm
You are home
The song was loud and mighty the largest I’ve seen
It felt like you were saying goodbye and letting me know you were fine
Cause I’m not gonna focus on the fading end
but on the light that shone bright throughout
The arch was huge, just like the love you had to give
So proud and giving ’til the end
Cause you are with him now
In a better place, out of pain
You are with with him now
In a safe place, free from harm
Cause you are with him now
In a peaceful place, out of pain
You with are with him now
In a safe place, free from harm
‘cause you are home
You are home
You are home
Great Song
Thank you Katie, such an amazing voice¡, incredible song¡, greetings from México.
Now *that's* how you sell a mic. Nice!
I agree . I bought it after hearing this recording ❤
If you’ve ever said “ribbon mics aren’t for vocals”, well, now you get to see how wrong you are. Brilliant performance, and brilliant job to Rode on this little innovator.
IF they aren't or vocals, what are they for?

LOL, who said that? Nobody is saying that.
Rode has great stuff but quite frankly KT could sing through a tin can on a string and it would sound amazing
Greg Collins LOL was thinking the same thing. The NTR is a great sounding mic especially considering it’s quite affordable... but it’s not like it’s having to work hard for its lunch with Katie in front ;-)
Unbelievebale how the NTR sounds with such a simple arrangement
That is not only a great performance but a terrific engineering job on the recording. Makes this Rode mic look like a real winner.
Stunning in every possible way... the mikes, the studio, but it all starts of course with the beautiful artist
Can't tell if reverb or best sounding room ever
Altiverb?
I think, they recorded it dry and passed it some fx plugins. But sounds great!
its the sound of the room definitely
It's verb for sure, blended with room ambience.
Freaking gorgeous! Made me cry, love the tone. On my want list. So rich, so warm, so yummy. Beautiful heartfelt song, great control from you Katie. The piano so understated and grand without dominating or overcrowding it's space.
Amazing microphones! I have never heard a Steinway sounding this good in a recording!
i have a cheaper active ribbon the preamp in it is no good compared to this, the weight of this mic is heavy from preamp in it
One thing I love about ribbons is the gorgeous midrange - nothing quite like it.
So clear but balanced and warm!
This song is soooo beautiful!!!! My Nana passed last year and I happened to be looking for a mic for school and stumbled across this video. It brought me to tears! Your voice is sooo amazing! Thank you so so much. I ordered a Rode condenser mic today. Thank you thank you thank you🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🙏🏽
Rode mics. Revolutionary mics. This one and the new NT1... incredible performance. Smooth and detailed sound. Nice reverb too...
incredible performance! beautiful!!! and of course RODE NTR´s are stellar!!! I have a pair! :D
This mic really haves a nice sound. i love the look of it too. the dynamics of the lows, the word are not madding up and keeping there detail and crips.
perfect illustration of the possibilities in the good environment and talent.
This Rode Mic will deliver.
Amazing artist. Amazing song. Amazing recording. Amazing microphones x 3.
I bought two. Why?
a) Katie’s angelic voice (and heartfelt songwriting) on this video - fantastic product demo;
b) Røde’s accompanying set-up video to this one; and
c) the Røde corporate video tour showing their approach to and investment in manufacturing - all gave me the confidence to buy a pair of NTRs about 6 months ago to add to the collection.
Normal chain is NTR, ISA 2 or Manley, Studio 192, DAW. While the ISA 2 & Manley pre’s add nice transformer or tube warmth, different, but equally impressive results happen when the NTRs go right into the onboard mic preamps of the Presonus Studio 192 interface. For fun, I even tried it on my Zoom H4n. So... on my gear, the NTR sounds amazing. Applications: voice over for online course content, vocals, steel & nylon acoustic guitars, and in front of a Marshall TSL 112 combo... all sound so good. Nice job Røde!
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
Wonderful!
Came to this because of Rode but wow, what a stunning song, beautiful. And the sound is crystal clear, full and detailed. Impressive stuff. Nice work Rode and of course, Katie. I use an NT1 at home but this is truly something rather special. Time to raid the piggy bank 😉
Perfect recording and execution and voice astoundingly well performed!!
Breathtaking. Both the voice and the audio
Wow - she's in stunning voice. Love the sound - eq'd or processed it had to be captured well first.
Really great! Finally some "all-ribbon" recordings (so many people combine condensers and ribbons and that's usually a disaster for the ribbons in the final mix).
I'd love to hear her with the mic in more a sweet-spot where she doesn't face away from it every time she looks down at the keyboard but, the recording does a great job of showing the natural "tactile" and "lifelike" qualities of ribbon recording.
I find that ribbons also retain the 'shape' of sounds, they just have more expression then other mics which seem to flatten out the true dynamics as they occur in real-life (maybe something to do with the figure of eight pattern too?)
Have 3 Rode mics - NT1, NT5, and the tube mic. Each has its own dynamic range. Each is beautiful. May need to pull the trigger on this one.
That would be wise, Don! It's an absolute classic.
Stunning sound! :)
Beautiful!!
Amazing performance and recording! Really want to get my greasy dirty fingers on that new Ribbon mic...
Exquisite
You had me at Katie...doesn't she sound amazing and the detail on the Rode NTR Ribbon is impressive. Two words...Stun ning!
Can't find the song she is singing in her discography...
PS : NTR incredible sound...
Katie Noonan : can't find words

The recording is Fabulous, Peter; it convinced me to get one!
Didn't think i'd end up watching the entire video, that was beautiful.
I mixed a few live gigs for Katie & her brother Ty, at the time she used a kms105 - wish this was available then, her voice is perfect for this mic, if happily use the NTR live!
Piano sounds rich & gorgeous, nice work.
this is beautiful it sounds amazing
WOW ! I fell in love with it!
A very nice sound indeed!
Microfon. Favorite
Magic singer. Magic song. Magic sound ever!
Crystal clear.
that vocal range stunning! :o
Very nice indeed and a great performance from Katie. Would be interesting to also hear the sweetened version of this recording. You must have been tempted to do that also?
take my dammm money
lol
Sound awesome
Fab Dupont say right a good ribbon mic on a digital recording world is near perfection ^^ especialy with a song performance like this ^^
Such a nice sound from ribbon.

Geoffrey Evans lol!
sooo beautiful vocal range, I wish I could sing XD
Such a nice voice!!!!
Amazing mic. Rode is coming to it's own now instead of just copying vintage sound. A shootout with a Royer would be interesting.
Mutant Baby Interested in these. I've got NT1s that I have been using for piano jazz recordings but they require some EQ to tone down a bit of harshness in the midrange but really like them otherwise. I'm thinking the NTR is a better match for piano.
my goodness that mic is actually very pretty
Perfection
Ok the video is to promo the mic. But sorry, WHAT A SONG, WHAT A SINGER!!!!! My goodness!
Does Katie come with the microphone? :)
lol
lol
i used to use that pickup line with hot salesgirls. Never worked, I guess I'm not Chad enough.
Outstanding. Take my money.
I'm actually very impressed by the quality of sound. But still need to give my own test to ntr.
Beautiful sounding microphone and amazing song!
I think she has sung once before O_O
I wish the "and your shmile" didn't distract me so much :/
Who cares about the mic, what a sound and performance!
I suppose that's what makes a good mic though, it's not really there.
Put her in front of just about any mic with a good engineer and it will sound amazing.
The NTR sounds really nice.
Wow.
i really like her voice, and she's pretty aswell! i was just wondering if i should get the AudixSCX5A or this one... i can't decide.
Kinda sounds heavily processed. Where is the reverb coming from? How was it recorded? EQ? Dynamics?
And yet... this song isn't on any of her albums that I can find.
Нам бы её со всей аппаратурой в Ростовское кафе вечерком. Микро зачётные.
lindo!
❤❤❤
Got me over here like "Whats a Neuman 87?" Ntr just did the david to Goliath.
Gabberflasted by her voice and all the textures and subtleties captured by this mic. A grand piano will show any deficiencies in a mic, or speakers. This NTR shows none that I can hear via good headphones. My Rode K2 will be gone for this model. Maybe not?
The piano sound is really great. Can you please write the distances between the microphones and to the piano and how you aimed them?
The measurements would be virtually meaningless unless you were in the same room. You can see in the video how they were aimed. Beyond that, you have to use your ears. There is no secret math that will get you great sound. It requires ears.
wow
What you used behind the microphones. What for a recording equipment. The information about th whole setup will be intresting, I think so...
Can I use this microphones also for big and low opera voices?
Right! Mr. Freedman should have included more details.
Incidentally, I believe Mrs. Noonan is a trained operatic singer.
@RØDE Microphones can you also tell us what was done behind the scenes? was the sound adjusted in any form by EQ, Compressors, etc? or was this a pure recording?
This should be the next Bond movie opening song.
🤩😍
No one asked what the signal change was. Any one know?
Great artist um …dramatic stuff this is a $800 mic ? I have a Neumann plus system that sounds a bit of a fraction of this Shows how you can get a great recording if you know what you are doing
Doesn’t hurt that her talent is through the roof nails the pitch can’t teach that
Rode, can you record the Classical Soprano Vocal ?
Are there any tips or trick, how you place a smilar setup when there 2 Musicians. I mean when the singer is not also the pianoplayer. In this example a opera singer. Where is best place to place him, so that not to much from him is on the 2 Piano NTR....
When will these be available in the U.S. and what will the price point be?
Could it act like a Royer 121 etc. in front of a guitar cabinet?
How far apart were the piano mics spaced from the piano and from each other?
Unfortunately the mic is so sensitive it's picking up the foot pedal action. Some attention there, either in placement or processing, might help reduce this distraction.
Nonetheless, a brilliant demonstration from a spirited and capable artist, well captured all the way through.
Its part of a real piano performance, its not unfortunate at all
gtjumper agreed
If you don't like the sound of the pedals then perhaps you should stick with sampled pianos?
I actually like that, feels like she's performing in front of me, it's like recording the sound of a hand sliding on a guitar, makes everything more realistic
Go play sampled stuff then
What preamp have been use for the recording?
+mproductionsmusik good question. I was wondering the same thing
Would be interested too
how much is this beast ? In Russia there is no price . Will be ordered at the company ...
+Рустем Кильметов 900 - 999 usd
This is truly an amazing performance! I bought 2 of these mics this month to record my piano. I don't own a studio or a steinway, but they sound absolutely gorgeous! So smooth.... thanks Rode! here a recording of my Bechstein in a home environment! ua-cam.com/video/ReM_Iayaltc/v-deo.html Greatings Thomas
Who wrote the song? Katie has a song called "Home" (from her album 'Skin' itunes.apple.com/nz/album/home/id263333689?i=263334151) but this is not it.
I wrote this song lovely! for my aunty who died unexpectedly x
@@ktnoonz Thank you! Very beautiful! 🙏🏻
@@ktnoonz This song has hunted me for years. When I think I have forgotten it, it starts playing in my mind out of nowhere. I'm not complaining, it's angelic.
I wish it was on Spotify ❤❤
Thank you for sharing such a delicate piece of art.
@@livnielsen3647 awwwww thank you so much LIV! xxx
this song is so TOUCHED.
did KN have an official FB
Dose anyone know the chords to this song?
how do I get the lyrics
Any thoughts on why he didn't use a pop shield on the vocal?
I would say because she's primarily not singing directly into the microphone and her lighter vocal tone would help reduce any air from plosives. It also appears the mic seems to be covered by a mesh shield, perhaps similar to something seen on with the new shield that launched with the NT1 (2014). Either way it seems like a very exciting microphone.
JMG Studios Hey, thanks for your reply. I was also thinking it must be because the mic is not pointed right at her BUT the vocal still sounds a little sibilant to me.
Josh Haslam I can see what you mean. Perhaps is had something to do with the mastering? Then again, this isn't really the ideal situation for a studio recording either. Either way, Im still pretty excited for this mic. :)
JMG Studios Agreed, it looks awesome!
You really thought this was live? lols ^___^
Я аж заплакал.
Can somebody please transcribe the lyrics, they're nowhere to be found, as is the song. Maybe under a different name?
